NOAA Coastal Services Center Sea Level Rise (SLR) Inundation Data Readme
______________________________

The metadata folder contains two metadata records (available as .html, .txt, and .xml), one for the Current Mean Higher High Water (or 0ft) inundation layer and one for the 1-6ft sea level rise inundation layers.

The file geodatabase (.gdb) contains three datasets, which are described below.

Dataset Naming Convention:
The prefix "ST_WFO" represents the state abbreviation and the National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office (WFO) identifier. In some cases, whole states are kept together and the WFO identifier isn't used. The suffix "nft" represents the SLR amount, where n represents the number of feet above mean higher high water.


ST_WFO_slr_depth_nft - raster dataset representing SLR inundation above mean higher high water for the specified amount. Values represent depth in meters.

ST_WFO_slr_nft - polygon dataset representing SLR inundation above mean higher high water for the specified amount.

ST_WFO_low_nft - polygon dataset representing hydrologically unconnected SLR inundation areas for the specified amount.
